Image : Home Diagnostic Report - Have you tried out the What if? tool?

Image : Energy Wise Logo It's a free online simulator you can use once you've completed the ENERGY WISE Home Diagnostic questionnaire. It allows you to change your initial answers to simulate potential changes in your habits or appliances and find out what the impact would be on your electricity bill.

Where is it?

First go to your Personal Page then click on ENERGY WISE Diagnostic.

How will it help?

It will enable better planning and management of your energy use. After running the What If simulation, you'll be able to make informed decisions and energywise changes.

Say, for example, you're thinking about lowering your thermostat by 1°C. The What If tool calculates how much you would save.

Let's look at the case of Emily.

Lowering the thermostat by 1°C

  Heating* Other uses* Total (Electricity)*
With your original answers $1,282 (16,996 kWh) $1,003 (14,104 kWh) $2,285 (31 100 kWh)
With your What If answers $1,205 (15,972 kWh) $1,003 (14,104 kWh) $2,208 (30,076 kWh)
Impact on your annual consumption -$77 (-1,024 kWh)
  • Your changes would decrease your Heating electricity consumption by $77.

* Note: Amounts are rounded off to the nearest dollar and are based on the rates in effect at the time the electricity was consumed. Also, amounts have been annualized if your time frame is not roughly equal to one year.
